Fantastic Birthday treat - A great experience made all the more special with my three sons all gathering in London to help me celebrate my birthday. Stacy was an excellent hostess with humourous antedotes along the way to keep us amused. Also includes historical facts about the many interesting buildings and monuments each side of the river. AJ was captain marvel who when released the throatle powered us over the water to James Bond theme music...what a thrill and this adventure cleary merits a 5 star review. Quite expensive but well worth it.

Excellent - Excellent experience. The high speed section by skipper Bill beyond Tower Bridge was just thrilling. The more sedate return from Tower Bridge back to the Eye is still wonderful, complete with some excellent commentary from Joey. Enough interesting information without being overbearing. I've done a few river trips, and this was by far the best. Well worth the money.

SO MUCH FUN! - If you're reading this review and wondering if you should book it ... this is your sign to BOOK IT!
What a great way to see some of the sites, learn a little history and have a whole lot of fun. Big thank you to Joey and Charlene. Joey guides the tour and Charlene whips the boat around.
Easy to find, easy to get on and off the boat, and worth every penny! Can't recommend this enough.

The best way to see London! - We have wanted to do this for years and we finally did on my birthday. We went on the 50 minute speed boat tour. Website was easy to use, finding the boarding place was fine just head for the London eye. You are greeted and checked in by lovely staff who then brief you and assist with life jackets these are provided. Wrap up warm! Even if you think you won’t be cold it’s nippy they also have coats if you think you need one. The group numbers are small and manageable. We sat at the front of the boat I’d recommend it if you don’t want to get wet. We had a fantastic tour guide named Sofia!!! She was very informative but friendly and lovely. You feel completely safe and relaxed. It’s an amazing experience and I’d highly recommend to anyone!

London panorama from a boat, view of all the main sights from the Thames, great experience of full-speed drive. - Great views from the Thames, a very friendly and accommodating guide, and lots of fun in the second part of the tour after we pass the Tower Bridge. Definitely recommended for younger crowds, and this is probably the coolest way to see London from the Thames, with the added value of a ride in James Bond style.
